hi all i asked about the antibiotic assessment that my hubby was going to have .well we been today and he wont be able to have it has his lungs arnt strong enough any idea s about what he will have instead . he would of been taking this drug through a machine or something . we were getting a bit excited because we had people saying they felt better .any knowledge would be really appreciated .his fitness class has also stopped because his blood pressure is going to over 200 . thx

I am assuming you are talking about nebulised antibiotics chrissy. They can irritate the lungs and some people can get a reaction, that is why you have an assessment at the hospital. You don't say what antibiotic they were using, but it could well be they may decide to try a different nebbed ab. I reacted to one ab but they are going to try a different one. I wonder have they tried a similar thing orally i.e. used as a prophylactic not as a treatment (to dampen down bugs to fend off full blown infection) eg Azithromycin 1 3 times a week? Worth giving BLF a ring to explain in more detail.

thx cofdrop he already on azithromycin this assessment was for colomycin .he dosnt have enough breath or something he is on the active lung transplant he needs a double lung transplant . but he had a bit of infection about 3 weeks ago and it seems to have knocked him for six .i think he might hear from newcastle and maybe they will do something xx
